Ah, I see.
Please write this in your .bashrc;
export DISPLAY="${DISPLAY:-:0}"
Then, you can log in KDE5. Hi again Masaru Nomiya, I added the export line to my own user's .bashrc file (not to root's or any other account's home dir) but it didn't make any difference! Sure seemed like a good idea though, again
